A Single template controls the layout of individual posts, pages, or custom post types, any post type your site registers gets its own Single template slot automatically, not just Post and Page. Instead of your theme's default single-post layout, you design exactly what surrounds and follows the content, author box, related posts, sidebar, table of contents, while placing the actual post content using ``. Single post and page templates are available on **Free and Pro**. Archive, search, and WooCommerce template types require **Pro**. See [Free vs Pro](/uichemy-composer/getting-started/free-vs-pro). ### Create a Single Template 1. Go to **UiChemy → Theme Builder**. 2. Click **+ Add New → Single (Post / Page)**. 3. It opens in the WordPress editor (Gutenberg) by default, or in Elementor if it's installed and you choose it. Use **Edit** on the template card to reopen it later. 4. Add the **Composer** widget to the canvas. 5. Build the layout. 6. Click **Update** to save. 7. Choose a target and, optionally, add conditions. ### The `post` Provider in Single Templates Inside the Composer widget's HTML panel, every `post.*` Twig expression resolves to the current post being viewed. Many `post.*` fields require UiChemy Pro. On Free, only `{{ post.title }}`, `{{ post.content }}`, `{{ post.link }}`, and `{{ post.thumbnail }}` resolve. Fields like `{{ post.date }}`, `{{ post.author.name }}`, `{{ post.categories.name }}`, `{{ post.comment_count }}`, and `{{ post.meta('key') }}` require Pro and return empty on Free. ```html

By {{ post.author.name }} · {{ post.date|date('F j, Y') }} · {{ post.comment_count }} comments

{% if post.thumbnail %}

{% endif %}

``` `` outputs the full post content, whatever the editor saved, including blocks, shortcodes, and embeds. ### Table of Contents Add `` anywhere in the template to insert a table of contents generated from the post's headings: ```html ``` ### Target and Conditions for Singles A Single template's primary scope is its **target**, chosen when you create it: the front page, a specific post type (Post, Page, or any custom post type your site registers, like "Portfolio"), or "any." On top of that target, you can add conditions for finer control, and the more specific condition wins when two templates share a target: | Condition | When to use | |---|---| | All Posts | Apply to all blog posts | | All Pages | Apply to all WordPress pages | | Single Post → specific post | Override for one particular post | | Post Category | Apply to posts in a specific category | Example, a blog post layout for all posts, but a full-width layout for the homepage: create a "Blog Post" template targeting Post with **Include → All Posts**, and a "Homepage" template targeting Page with **Include → Single Page → Home**, each template's target already keeps them from colliding. ### Practical: Blog Post with Sidebar ```html

{{ post.date|date('F j, Y') }} · {{ post.meta('reading_time') }} min read

``` ### Frequently Asked Questions It wraps it. Place `` wherever you want the post's own content to appear. Everything else you build in the Composer widget is the surrounding layout. Yes. Create two Single templates and assign conditions: Template A with **Include → All Posts**, Template B with **Include → Post Category → [specific category]** (wins due to higher specificity). Yes, use a `get_posts` loop at the bottom of the template, filtered by the current post's category. See [Loops](/uichemy-composer/design-data/loops). ### Related See the general template-creation flow this builds on. Narrow this template down beyond its post type target. Pull in the current post's data dynamically. Build the matching archive view for this post type.
